CR7 nowhere to be seen! Cristiano Ronaldo misses Al-Nassr's last game of the season against Al-Fateh with muscle injury as Talisca stars in his absence

Cristiano Ronaldo was absent as Al-Nassr beat Al-Fateh in their final Saudi Pro League game of the season on Wednesday.

Riyadh side won 3-0 without him

WHAT HAPPENED? The Portugal star was kept out of the home match because of an injury he picked up during his side's previous game against Al-Ettifaq. Ronaldo is reported to have strained a muscle that prevented him from training with the rest of his team-mates this week.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Al-Nassr hardly missed the 38-year-old attacker as they ran out 3-0 winners in the clash in Riyadh. Anderson Talisca was the star of the show with two goals before he set up Mohammed Maran to round off the scoring.

Al-Nassr were already guaranteed to finish second in the Saudi top flight and the win sees them come in five points behind champions Al-Ittihad, who won 2-0 on Wednesday.
